  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 French bread loaf (about 1620 inches)

½ to 1 cup pizza sauce

1½ cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Your favorite toppings: pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms (as desired)

Instructions

1. Slice French bread loaf in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-6 inch sections.

2. Lightly brush cut side of each bread piece with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

3. Optional: pre-toast bread in air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

4. Spread an even layer of pizza sauce on each bread piece, leaving a small border.

5. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

6. Add desired toppings evenly.

7. Place pizzas in air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5-8 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is golden brown.

8. Carefully remove and let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Preheat air fryer for best results. Do not overcrowd basket. Pre-toast bread for extra crispiness. Thinly slice raw toppings to ensure they cook through. Store leftovers wrapped in fridge for 3-4 days; reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes. Avoid microwave for reheating.
